Barracuda Web Application Firewall (WAF) - PAYG

Single AMI

An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) is an encrypted machine image of a specific computer running a base operating system, configured in a specific way, and can also contain a set of applications and services for accomplishing a specific purpose. An AMI contains all the information necessary to start up and run the software on the image. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the computing environment for running instances of an AMI.

This is a deployment of a WAF cluster in an autoscaling group. The autoscaling group is present within a VPC. The group contains members across multiple availability zones for maximum redundancy. The autoscaling groups of Web Application Firewalls inspect traffic going across to multiple web application deployments which themselves autoscale within the VPC and prevents attacks. ELBs are used to load balance traffic from the WAF cluster to the web application clusters.

Barracuda Web Application Firewall (WAF) - PAYG

Autoscaling Cluster Deployment using AWS CFT

This CloudFormation Template deploys the Barracuda Web Application Firewall in an autoscaling cluster, which will autoscale with your application. This optimises your costs and ensures that your application is always available and protected.
When deployed with the CloudFormation Template, the Barracuda Web Application Firewall cluster is bootstrapped with the basic application configuration. Therefore, when the Barracuda Web Application Firewall cluster comes up it automatically connects to and protects your application. As additional WAF instances scale up, they automatically cluster with existing instances, and bootstrap with the latest available configuration.
The Barracuda Web Application Firewall fully supports ELB Sandwich deployments. Such deployments have an external ELB front-ending the WAF cluster, and an internal ELB between the WAF cluster and the application being secured. Such deployments are recommended when the backend application autoscales independently of the WAF cluster. When the application instances autoscale, there is no need to configure the Barracuda Web Application Firewall each time. The WAF communicates with the ELB, which then load balances traffic to the application instances that are up at any point in time.
The Barracuda Web Application Firewall autoscaling cluster can be deployed across multiple autoscaling zones to ensure high availability. If a WAF instance in the cluster goes down for any reason, the traffic can be redistributed across the other instances automatically to ensure continued application availability.

Trusted by the world's most security-conscious businesses, including financial institutions, government agencies and trading platforms; the Barracuda WAF inspects all bi-directional web traffic, and guards against data loss by inspecting the HTTP responses from the back-end servers. Built-in access controls enable administrators to create granular policies for Authentication, Authorization & Accounting (AAA). Support for CloudFormation templates enables admins and devops to automatically bootstrap and cluster additional instances as needed, for higher throughput and easy deployment.

The built-in Barracuda Vulnerability Remediation Service removes much of the administrative overhead associated with firewall maintenance by automatically configuring itself based on vulnerabilities discovered by Barracuda Vulnerability Manager.
